Endgame

QM Note: After 2 weeks of horrible weather and horrible weather-induced car accident, I am back! Also: Being the final boss, even though he didn't last as long as I projected (I should've pulled the trigger and gave him the 9999 HP I had planned), you get double EXP for killing the ER - and for putting up with my extended, aggravating absences. The Eternal Reaper speaks, his voice wavering. His booming voice that seemed to envelope the entire Lonely Island was now broken, its many layers and tones fading into the voice of one defeated old beast. His limbs gnarled and broken, gushing blood from every orifice, he speaks... "...Three thousand years. Eight hundred as Prometheus. Two thousand and some odd centuries as The Regret. A mere hour as the Reaper. ...I think I'm ready for oblivion, heroes. I've seen the land of the dead for as long as I can remember - I can hardly even begin to imagine what awaits me when this body dies. Thousands of souls stuffed into this, this... Abomination, really, that's what it is - and not a single one to call my own. It's going to be damn interesting, that's for sure. I suppose I'm ready for final curtain call, heroes." "All *wheeze* these lives taken... All for a suicidal temper tantrum?" "I see no point in arguing in the value of human lives with you, Punii. So I will only say this: I do have regrets. Many of them just futile self loathing, but some lives taken perhaps went too far in molding the ones who would allow me to become The Reaper. And yes... This all has been an elaborate suicide, to escape the sin I made in a past life two milleniums ago. And you know why." "You needed *wheeze* heroes for your sick scheme." "Yes. And this time... I think I found some pretty good ones." says The Reaper, looking towards the group of heroes.

FIRSTLY: I want to thank all of the 105ers for putting up with my several extended absences due to the horrible weather. Five feet of snow in two weeks is a hell of a lot to put up with. My power has been back for a week, but I got in a mild car accident due to iced-over roads. Everything is still attached, and now I only have a few nasty looking marks, but I'm fine. SECONDLY: To those who ran the rounds in 105 (Flipz and Scubacarrot, as far as I can tell): THANK YOU. If there is any way I can help you with feature endeavors, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM. THIRDLY: Give me a little bit to catch up on current affairs, and expect an update coming your way soon! The snow is melting (kinda), the injuries are healing up just fine, the car is getting fixed, the reaper is dead, the birds are chirping, and I'm sure other nice things are happening too!

A blizzard knocked out my power (posting from a restaurant's wifi.) 24 to 36 more inches of snow expected within the next 24 hours - back to back blizzards, followed by another 8 inches on Friday. I need to move to Florida or something.

I do have a plan! It involves every single hunter on the island (about 10,000) dying, for starters. Plus, various allied NPCs may find themselves in the marke for entrails and a soul. I'm assuming you're referring to the heroes losing to the Reaper, and not sparing him.

The Regret has been messing with the space-time continuum for the past two thousand years, we may not have a lot to be concerned about.

"The aura! Are we not attacking the aura?!" says Dranza the 53rd frantically, getting increasingly panicked as the party begins to drop.

And so Seerus learns that he is a puppet, just like all the rest...

Fails. The party continues to barrage the Eternal reaper, severing one of his arms. However, Masson is swept aside once more, and Octus finds himself injured. However, the Eternal Reaper now seems to be looking for alternate solutions to his issue... "͞͡T́͞h̨̢̀is ҉̷b̷̨̛a͠͞ţ́tl̶̨͢e̷͝ ̨͜is͜͝ ̵̀͟tá͟k̸͞in̵͘g͞͝ ͡a̶͡ ͏t̢́u̴͘r̵͢n҉ ̡f̛o̡r͜͠͠ ̶҉t̴͢h̡́e̕ ͏́̕u͜n̕f̴͜o͟҉͢r̴̢t́͟ú̷͡n̶̴a̸̧͜t̢̛͞ę̶͟.͏̸͘.́.̷ ̸͟͝S͝ȨE̵R͜U̶S̀҉.͘" The Reaper beckons his right hand Oculoid to appear, and he does so dutifully. He appears in the middle of the fray in a burst of black smoke. "You need my assistance, master? My aid in battle, perhaps?"

"What? Master, what do you-" The Eternal Reaper grabs Seerus in one of his massive claws, wordlessly holding the squirming Mastermind at eye level. "Master, please... No! NO! Let me fight! I'll prove myself, I swear it! You don't need to do this, you don't need to-" The very same tendrils that tore through Erdathcath emerge from the Reaper's maw once more, impaling the Mastermind's bulbous body every where imaginable. One by one the tentacles rob Seerus of his acquired human souls, the Oculoid howling in pain more and more for every soul ripped from his body. Before long, the Reaper fully harvests all of the souls Seerus had robbed from his many victims, powering himself up. He discards Seerus, the Mastermind hitting the cold ground. he gasps and wheezes and sputters and bleeds, too weak to do anything but die. "Heroes... Please... Help me..."

"I.... I know he's not coming back to life. But I can't just sit idle and watch him get his soul devoured by the Reaper, when he disposes of us!"

Just pluck us right off the ground, no messy seperation from the body neccasary, hmmm..." "Listen! We're *wheeze* gonna do our best to defeat him, and hopefully set free any poor soul he devours! We can't leave them to a *cough* fate like that..."

Fails. The party slashes and stabs at the Eternal Reaper's open wounds, causing him heavy damage and even severing one of his tails. It recoils from Boomingham's strike and shatters, cobwebs of cracks appearing on the broken limb. It falls to the ground, limp, not unlike a toppled tower, and hits the ground with an explosion that nearly defeans the heroes. It leaves a gaping wound that the heroes could easily exploit... However, a misstep leads to a savage attack from the Eternal Reaper, razing the entire party with a deadly energy beam.

(Example: Hitting 3 limbs next round reduces the chance of the attack launching form 7/7 to 4/7.) -As limbs die, the odds scale with each death. (Example: After 3 limbs are destroyed, the odds start out as 4/4 and drop by 1/4 for every limb hit instead of starting at 7/7 and dropping by 1/7 for every limb hit.) -If the odds are reduced to 0, the spell back fires and all enemies take 100 damage (disregarding row and SP), and have their SP reduced by 10!

Guts is Masson's uncle, confirmed.

Roye Cour and Guts are obviously brothers seperated at birth, as Royce would have the exact same face if he was among the living.

"...No. No, I'm not. I'm being this thing's punching bag, or thrall, or tool, or victim any longer. He's taken so much from me - not to mention all of us - and you expect me to stand here and be placid?! I tried. I really, truly did. But there's only so much one man can take."

And we are back. From this point on I'll try to run 2 rounds a day, should the BO be provided.

"Leave him to die? I was trying to save his mother! It was never my intention for him to die - If you think delivering a few sparse punishments wasn't worth trying to save his mother, to try and stop a seemingly unstoppable virus, you're delusional. I got obsessive. I am obsessive. Even now, 'm trying to find a cure for the Twisted Rosalia virus. I thought the cure I called "Bleach" would work.I thought it would erase any and all ailments from the skin... And it did, a bit too well." Gryphinn clenches the fist of his supposedly amputated arm. "It blew up, and bleached my arm invisible. Had to pretend it was gone, so none of Eubric's "authorities" would know I had quarantined a deadly disease, and its one victim. I don't trust 'em. From there, well... Isaac was fed, and I tried to educate him. For a parent trying to cure a disease, I think that's enough." It's clear Gryphinn doesn't fully believe in his last statement, judging by his downcast look. "I don't know how Isaac died. I legitmately don't know. I found his corpse, doused in Bleach, and disposed of it. Once again, i couldn't get anyone involved with this but me. Maybe paranoia has gotten the better of me, but I know I'm in the right!"

QM Note: You were not, the number in parentheses represents me keeping track of the multipliers to make sure I can do basic math. For the record, Baravado Brew is seperate from encouraged. I purposefully worded the item so the effects can stack.

QM Note: >Boomingham gets a x4 multiplier: Encouraged (2) x Bottled Barrage (2) x Light Elemental Strike (2)=8 / 2 (Back row) = 4x multiplier. If this is wrong, please correct me, but I believe my math is correct. Is there a factor I'm missing? >Daranza 53rd is back up and kicking! >Just rolled again, Jeaux, and you got another roll of Special Damage.

"I'm sorry, but if they are as you describe, there is only one cure - and not the pleasant kind. I ask tha you hld still, remain calm, and-" The party hears the doctor strike a match. Not finishing his sentence, the door flies open, out stepping Dr. Gryphinn - with, as expected from what they had learned, two arms, the supposedly missing one covered in a black latex sleeve. Before the party can respond to him or the large cleaver he held in his hands, He rushes towards Vindsval, and with an unprecedented swiftness, lops off his arm in a single strike. The half giant has no choice but to stagger back and watch in horro as the Doctor uses the match to scorch the severed limb into ash, the appendage quickly bursting into flames. Before long it would be nothing but charred bone and soot. The doctor throws both of his tools on the floor, and speaks. "You were infected. You somehow contracted Roslia - thankfully, i managed to stop it before you unleashed it on Eubric. What did you do?! Did you go into the quarantine? Why? I demand an explanation, and don't you DARE give me any trouble for that free treatment. If you were half as reasonable as you look, you;d know its the only way! Now, an explanation of what happened!"

"Are they a dark, brownish green?" The doctor inquires.
